O.P. Unicode?
Hi,
I'm wondering if the forums are using the Unicode char set.
This is because non-Latin characters are shown in a very weird cmbination of letters, numbers & more..

Nope, the board doesn't support Unicode.

RE: Unicode?
The latest version of MyBB supports unicode, not sure if it could be added to this board.

RE: Unicode?
This is probably a long shot, but isn't making it unicode-compatible easy as setting the charset to utf-8 and adjusting the database so that it saves in unicode?

I believe you need to convert existing data in the database to utf-8, well that's what MyBB 1.2.10 done anyway.

Can't you just set the collation to utf8_general_ci?

No, you also need to use multibyte-aware string functions everywhere you deal with Unicode strings. And there are probably some other issues I can't think of right now.

Yeah, I think that's all MyBB does... issues a few ALTER TABLE queries and lets MySQL do all the work.

Another reason to update.
But MyBB 1.4's Unicode support is still buggy... it wouldn't let me ban my test user.
